To be justified is not to be accounted such as have no sin, but, 1. To be made such by Pardon through Christ's Merits, and by true Faith, as God will take by special love and favour unto life. 2. To be accounted such by God. 3. To be virtually Sentenced such by the Law of Grace and Faith, and to be just in Lawse•ce. 4. At last we shall be judged such by public Sentence. 5. And be used as such.

Not justified by the Law of Innocency or of Moses, but by Christ's Law of Grace.
Not justified perfectly till the time of Perfection: Much punishment on Soul and Body, is yet to be taken off: And more sins daily to be pardoned; and we before the World to be sentenced as just to life everlasting.
